We had a lot of fun at our Emperor's Birthday tasting on December 23 and decided to hold a sequel!
So prepare yourself for the 'King David's Birthday' tasting on Saturday January 13.
The basic plan is similar to the last tasting although the wines are mostly different. We start in Champagne, take a short detour through northern Spain, rampage briefly through southern France, and finish up with some wonderful Portuguese wines (including Port of course).
Along the way we will visit some of our geekiest wine selections, including at least one interesting (and very appropriately named) wine that is not currently available in Japan.
We plan to put out about 12-13 of our highest quality items, with a focus largely on red wines suitable to the winter season. Most of the wines are new faces, but a few that were popular at the last tasting will reappear this time as well.
Signup is now open, wine list will be available shortly.
